The closure of people's minds, understandings and boundaries are subject to either current environmental pressures brewed by ignorance or insecurities sculptured by pre-environmental education whereby they know no better - Dean Harrison

Yeah, sorry, that is a mange afflicted fox. The ears are too long to be a Thylacine, it's legs are foxlike, and the brush, though partly mange affected, is held as a fox's is. The severely crusted skin of the rump might look like stripes, but that's the crevices of skin around which the cruelly thickened scabby skin has split a little with the fox's movements. Poor thing.
